Abstract:

The last few years have seen a steadily increasing interest in constructional
approaches to language contact. This volume builds on previous constructionist
work, in particular Diasystematic Construction Grammar (DCxG) and the volume
"Constructions in Contact" (2018) and extends its methodology and insights in
three major ways. First, it presents new constructional research on a wide
range of language contact scenarios including Afrikaans, American Sign
Language, English, French, Malayalam, Norwegian, Spanish, Welsh, as well as
contact scenarios that involve typologically different languages. Second, it
also addresses other types of scenarios that do not fall into the classic
language contact category, such as multilingual practices and language
acquisition as emerging multilingualism. Third, it aims to integrate
constructionist views on language contact and multilingualism with other
approaches that focus on structural, social, and cognitive aspects. The volume
demonstrates that Construction Grammar is a framework particularly well suited
for analyzing a wide variety of language contact phenomena from a usage-based
perspective.
